12 Bliss Street

Nominated for an Edgar Award for Best First Novel

Nicola Swain, the sexy and intelligent heroine of 12 Bliss Street, is angry. She’s been evicted from her San Francisco apartment, humiliated by her boss, and kidnapped by two slacker teenagers all on the same day. Pushed to her limit, Nicola fights back, only to find herself embroiled in a dangerous game of internet erotica.

Praise

“Conway’s jump into novel length is as lean and sexy as her cardio-kickboxing heroine.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“The story is less a traditional mystery than a new millennium comic-opera version of a mystery. Conway not only speaks the shorthand of the Internet generation but uses it to create a smart and sassy tale with a heroine who could well be the prototype of a new era of female sleuths.”
—Houston Chronicle

“12 Bliss Street is a thoroughly up-to-date novel in which even the depraved lunatics have high-speed access. Conway herself writes in streamlined prose reminiscent of Douglas Coupland, full of clever neologisms and pocket Zen.”
—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
